Chapter 75: Safe Stone
September 5.
Yesterday it rained lightly in New York.
Today everything stopped.
Looks like today will be a sunny day.
Morning,
Edward Sefoloza said goodbye to his wife and two-year-old twin daughters. He went to the company's headquarters in Queens.
Edward is a member of the Navy SEALs.
After he retired, his father hoped he would return and inherit the family business.
The Sefoloza farm was a little smaller than the Smith farm, but their family was also millionaires.
That's just Edward, no longer adapted to life on a rural Texas farm.
After a year at home, he moved to New York over his father's objections. Also a Texan.
Abel has just arrived in New York and joined Wall Street.
Edward went to New York but he joined a security company.
The company he joined was called Rock Security.
Translated into Chinese it can be a transliteration of "Lu Ke", or it can be directly translated as "stone". Rock Security, given its size at the time, could only be considered a micro-security company.
But it was also brilliant.
In 1989, Rock Security was founded through the voluntary cooperation of several retired United States Special Forces veterans.
In 1990, it officially began implementing domestic and foreign security projects as well as other security-related service projects.
In 1991, the safety of rock music caught up with the "good times." As a PMC, he joined the ranks of the Gulf War and earned a lot of money.
Then things got worse, the founders had so many disagreements that they directly broke up.
One of them stayed and continued to operate Rock Security.
As a result, the security of the rock is seriously compromised, the scale has never been larger, and it brings a little money to New York.
Edward joined this company because he happened to be a great soldier who had just joined the army in 1991. At that time, he saw the elite warriors of this company and thought it was very cool.
I went to New York and met this company again.
So he joined.
It's just that he was disappointed after joining.
Because of the current safety of the stone, it no longer has its former glory. When he joined Rock Security, there was only one security department and one logistics department left.
There are about eleven bodyguards in the security department, and only five in the logistics department plus the boss.
In its heyday, there was a strong security team with thousands of employees.
Now it's just a security company with dozens of people.
The only thing he admires in the entire company are his other colleagues in the security department. The boss is a retired elite, he was one of the founders at that time.
Poor business management ability but excellent ability to train and select bodyguards.
The eleven bodyguards, including Edward, are all retired elites.
However, no matter how good the employee is, it is useless.
If you don't find a good job, your income will not be high. Income is not high and the elite cannot continue to stay.
Therefore, the turnover rate of stone safety staff is very high.
It is even known as the "Military Academy" among New York's bodyguards.
It is said that there are security companies all over New York and most of the East Coast.
Whenever there is a shortage of personnel or when high quality bodyguards are needed. will run to a safe rock to dig into the wall.
That's what happened when Edward joined us.
The company is no longer active.
The owner of Plimpton was thinking of turning the company directly into a bodyguard training company.
Since it is a "Military Academy" it should really be a "Military Academy". At this point, Edward had been working for more than a month. Realizing that the company had no future, he wrote a letter of resignation.
At that moment, Abel appeared.
He and the company's boss, Pliton, talked for a while in the office.
After Platon left the office, he directly announced that the new boss of the company would be Abel. Platon himself became the company's director of training.
Then the new boss announced new requirements and new jobs.
And above all, new advantages.
In this regard, Edward continued to stay and began his career as a bodyguard in New York.
Today, Rock Security, the company's headquarters, remains in Queens. Compared to when Edward first joined the company, the entire company had only sixteen people.
Rock Security currently has 75 people in the company.
Among them, there are 6 people in the logistics department, 5 people in the administrative department and 9 people in the training department.
Security service for 45 people.
10 people from other departments. Compared to these large security companies or PMCs, Rock Security is still a small company.
Fortunately, this decadence was swept away when Edward joined him.
Rock Security now.
With the support of the boss, the entire company exudes vitality.
Edward, who lives in Jersey City, drove through Manhattan. Luckily, there were no traffic jams and after more than 40 minutes of driving, I finally arrived at the company headquarters in Queens.
When he arrived it was only half past eight in the morning.
I looked at the time and the situation outside the company headquarters.
He nodded with satisfaction:
The time was correct and the boss hadn't arrived yet.
In another corner of the company headquarters parking lot, he saw the company's former boss, current training director, Mr. Plimpton, who had just arrived and was parking his car. After getting off the bus, Edward smiled and waved.
The Training Director responded and approached with a smile.
Then the old boss lowered his voice and asked Edward:
"Sefoloza, the boss came to check today. Do you know what the main check is?"
Normally,
Plimpton, the director of training, is actually away from the company's headquarters most of the time. It is primarily located in his hometown of New Jersey, a training ground that covers more than a hundred acres.
It is Rock Security's training ground and also Plimpton's own industry.
After selling the company, Plimpton remained at Rock Security.
The content of his job is to train the company's security staff on the training ground.
The company paid for its training ground. Therefore, he often works at home, and the work content is also his favorite type.
This is the best thing for Plimpton, who is over 50 years old this year.
Yesterday, Edward suddenly called me.
He said his boss was going to check out the company's headquarters in Queens today.
I want Plimpton to come here early today, and at the same time notify the whole company that anyone who hasn't come to work today must come here. He's still the type of person who can't take a leave of absence.
Because Edward spoke very solemnly, he hung up the phone.
That's why Plimpton asked curiously when he saw Edward in the parking lot today.
Edward looked at Plimpton, who was now the company's head of security and head bodyguard.
He has the same status as Plimpton, head of training and director of training. "I don't really know. Maybe it's a routine check-up." Edward wasn't sure.
Rock Security's bodyguards always have jobs.
Several people are responsible for Smith Capital's security work.
That's the kind of gatekeeper, relatively simple. Each day requires eight people, divided into two teams.
Many people are responsible for their own safety.
And the boss's wife's job.
This is where the most people are needed, including the remaining staff in the boss's main mansion.
This part requires nearly 30 people. 45 company bodyguards, not including rotation and training of some people.
Basically, it all works.
Seeing that even Edward, the boss's most trusted captain of bodyguards, doesn't know this.
Plimpton shrugged: "Yeah, even you don't know. So only the boss knows."
Edward nodded, then watched the car pull into the company parking lot. "Andy is here. Dexter is on duty today." Edward saw the person get out of the car after it was parked.
He said.
Plimpton also looked at the time, the old man shrugged again.
"I don't like this guy." Plimpton lowered his voice: "I must say, I don't like all the damned agitators!"
"Yeah~"
Edward also lowered his voice: "If you discriminate, you will be humiliated in California."
"Than. Andy is not a bad person."
"It's his excitement wand."
"Okay," Plimpton said, "You're right."
Right after that, the old man smiled at Abel's driver and said:
"Hello, hello. Andy, is Dexter on duty today?"
"Correct."
The main job in normal times is mainly to help Abel drive.
But Andy, who often drove Anne Hathaway, approached with a smile.
His voice was very gentle, without any force.
Like a girl. "Dex is on duty today. Oh look, he's here."
"The boss is also here."
It turned out that during the conversation, a small convoy of three cars had formed.
Go to the parking lot of the company headquarters.
The car in the middle is the boss's Cadillac STS.
